Never thought I'd wish for nausea

Finally saw the doctor yesterday and he seemed all fine and dandy. Just said "let's hope this one sticks" He ordered an ultrasound and my OB work up for Monday and prescribed prometrium but that was it. I was hoping for HCG counts or something! But no. So now I'm still as nervous as I was before I saw him and I feel way too normal HAHA. With my son I had insane nausea for 5 1/2 months. And every time I've gotten pregnant I've had crazy sore boobs. But now I just feel bloated and a little tired but normal! I know it is normal for each pregnancy to be different. And my best friend keeps telling me to be grateful my head isn't in a toilet but omg the anxiety is killing me.

I never had true morning sickness, so... I have to say it, try not to worry! You can tell him that you want to check your levels. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I always ask my doctors for what I want now.

LOL sometimes I just need to hear that!! I'm honestly considering calling a different doctor Monday because I'm not feeling like mine is being proactive enough with me.

Honestly, I would. I wasn't happy with the on doctor who returned my call when I had my first loss, so before I even got pregnant again I found a new one. I was trying not to be negative, but "let's hope this one sticks" is an insensitive thing for him to say to anyone who's had a loss. I saw a fertility specialist for the first trimester and they were crazy thurough, checked my levels every other day for a week and gave me multiple ultrasounds. I went to him because he investigated my loss and ran tests on me. When I "graduated," they kicked me out after the first trimester, I went to a high risk specialist and I love her. I'm honest with them and I think I found someone who's more conservative and aggressive than I am regarding my health. I embarrass my husband, but my aunt always tells me "it's your health and your baby, you're your baby's only advocate right now." I say go for it! And let your current doctor know that he's insensitive on your way out.

@PlainJane8350 I was so stunned when he said that I didn't know how to reply. But after talking with my husband we both felt like we weren't comfortable with his lack of plan of action. I'll be calling a high risk dr Monday and begging for an appointment as soon as possible. And to make matters worse I've had a few times of brown discharge when I've got to the restroom. Ahhhh.

I know the feeling. I never had morning sickness but I would feel more "reassured " if I did. I had a m/c and before I could start my temps I got the BFP now I have no clue how far along I am and not feeling any symptoms sucks.

If you aren't happy with your ob change! Don't second guess yourself. But also be vocal with what you want or expect. I personally prefer midwives because they treat you like an individual. In my experience obs tend to rush you in and out or look frustrated when you have too much to say. Good luck!

I'll be thinking about you over the weekend. I think you'll be happy with a high risk doctor. We're all traumatized after a loss and, at least in my experience, they're more proactive and understanding. Take it easy this weekend, only one more day until Monday!

@sepiatoned1 congrats and sticky dust to you!!! We planned on going with a midwife. I just want to get through this first trimester.

@PlainJane8350 I've never wished for Monday so much in my life!! Thank you doll!

I am in the same boat. I had a loss in march baby stopped developing 5 weeks and i didnt find out until 10 weeks ultrasound a missed miscarriage. So my doctor told me to call as soon as i got a positive preg test so i did they got me in that day for blood work and the lady told me they would draw again in 2 days and then the next week 2 more times to confirm.
After the first draw they put me on prometium twice a day because my levels were only a 7. And my hcg was 110 after the next draw my hcg was 300. Which they said was better than normal so they wouldnt need to see me for 3 more weeks.
I have called a few times to try and get in earlier but they said it will be too early! I finally have an ultrasound on tuesday but i am a little frustrated that they havent done anything since. My levels continued to double with my mmc weeks after the baby stopped growing!
So i hope the best for all of us!! And if they would have said what yours said i def would be looking else where for my care!!

@chelsb@cc.usu.edu whatever makes you the most comfortable and relaxed will be best for you and baby. Hope you find a good ob soon.

@bspletzer sorry for your loss. I had the same issue. Stopped developing at 8w and didn't find out until the 10w u/s. Was my 3rd loss but honestly the worst because of being blind sided and difficult recovery. You're making me wish I'd gone to the doctor sooner. I get my first blood test Tuesday. Sticky baby dust to us all
